• In amid of US presidential election campaign in
  last year there emerged a new start-up called
  Sentropy with an AI-based platform. This platform
  aimed at social media and other companies that
  helped people join together for conversation.
  Sentropys algorithm was built using natural
  language processing and machine learning. These
  algorithms helped to detect social toxicity and
  eliminate that before becoming a serious issue.
• Now, the Product is being unveiled by this
  company that aims at consumers using the same
  technology that was built for an enterprise
  platform called Sentropy Protect. Sentropy
  Protect is free software that helps in detecting
  harmful content on a feed and having better
  control in the way of the dashboard. This
  software is initially starting with Twitter, it
  will add other social feeds with time which
  provides API to integrate with Sentropy Protect.
• CEO of Sentropy John Redgrave stated that the
  consumer product launch is not a pivot but an
  expansion of what the company is building.
  Senetropy will continue to work with enterprise
  customers. It has two products, Sentropy Product
  and Sentropy Defend. The Sentropy Product
  provides API-based access to its abuse detection
  technologies whereas the Sentropy Defend provides
  a browser-based interface that enables end-to-end
  moderation workflows for moderators. But at the
  same time, the Protect consumer product will
  provide people an added option whether or not
  Sentropy is being used by a particular platform
  to take the reins and have more hands-on control
  over their harassment graph.

• Protect is free now, but Redgrave said that
  Sentropy is still working on deciding whether
  its free or not. One likely scenario that will
  be protected will come in freemium tiers. It will
  provide free limited product for individuals with
  pro services featuring enhanced tools,
  therefore managing accounts on one or high
  profiles.
• Sentropy counts among its workforce former
  Microsoft, Apple, and Lattice employees, as well
  as the former head of strategy and operations at
  Palantir. A number of the companys founders
  worked at Apple acquisition target Lattice Data
  which collaborated with the U.S. Defense Advanced
  Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through the
  Memex program to fight human trafficking. As a
  part of the effort, they looked at the signals
  from sources like Backpage, Craigslist, and dark
  web forums, like language associated with
  trafficking, and this inspired Sentropys
  solution.
• Sentropy is the first moderation platform to
  prioritize the user experience of the moderators
  and community managers. Weve built a workflow
  tool thats meant to create power moderators, and
  every new feature we launch is designed to make
  Trust Safety faster, safer, and more useful for
  the front lines in the battle against online
  abuse.
